The summer file has always been the world of ancient puppet dramas.
The year before last, dramas such as "Splendid Stars", "Canglan Jue", and last year's "Sauvignon Blanc" were out of the circle one after another on major platforms and became popular all summer.
But this year, the ancient puppet dramas are getting worse than the other.
"Spending the Year of China" kicked off the summer file, I thought it would be able to fire the first shot, but I didn't expect it to be a dumb fire, and when the drama was not finished, many viewers abandoned the drama due to the operation of magic changes and adding dramas, and the popularity and reputation both overturned.
"Sauvignon Blanc 2", which the audience has been waiting for for a year, is also mired in the magic change controversy, which is not like a drama separated from the previous work, and it is difficult to reach the popularity set last season.
Could it be that the ancient puppet drama in the summer of 2024 is like this?
Don't worry, the new drama is coming-
"Nian Wushuang" has passed the trial and is certified, and the peach factory is waiting to be broadcast.
can save the ancient puppet, and sure enough, it has to be 85 flowers.
The plot jumps out of the routine, and the emotional line leads to anticipation
"Nian Wushuang" tells the story of the goddess Wushuang (played by Tang Yan) who went down to earth to assassinate the fox high priest Yuan Zhong (played by Liu Xueyi) in order to retrieve the treasure, but found that there was another hidden secret, and the two fell in love with each other and worked together to save the world during the investigation.
When it comes to ancient puppets, some viewers may be a little disdainful, isn't it just wearing ancient costumes to fall in love? What is there to see.
Although "Nian Wushuang" is an ancient puppet, it is an ancient puppet that does not take the usual path.
After reading the trailer, the two highlights thrown by the series have firmly caught the audience's attention.
First, lurking to kill.
Tens of thousands of years ago, in the war between gods and demons, the god of origin used the artifact "God's left hand" to seal the demon god, however, the artifact was accidentally destroyed and fell into the world, and the gods of origin fell into a long sleep.
The War Ghost Clan took advantage of the chaos to cause a great war, and the goddess Wushuang was entrusted by the Heavenly Realm to transform into a human girl and infiltrate the fox clan and become the personal maid of the priest Genzhong, planning to kill him and retrieve the left hand of the god parasitic in his body.
However, Yuan Zhong was isolated and slandered by his clan, and he could have used the magic power of the artifact to resist, but he was afraid of hurting the innocent, and everything was seen by Wushuang.
Musou decides to help Gen Zhong break the seal, but the resurrection of the War Ghost Clan causes panic within the Fox Clan.
At the same time, Gen Zhong knew that Wushuang was close to his purpose, but he didn't know that the other party had already changed his mind, and Wushuang had also received a death order from the Heavenly Realm.
Neither seemed to have a choice.
Second, the double-strong setting.
Ancient puppet dramas are indispensable to talk about love, but for the sober male and female protagonists, love is the catalyst to save the common people.
The heroine Wushuang inherited the secret craftsmanship of the family on her own, and was promoted to a god as a mortal, and her heart was pure and flawless.
Although the male protagonist Yuan Zhong was ostracized by his fellow clans, he was sensitive and intelligent, and he was the current high priest of the fox clan.
The two met by mistake, and they fell in love, but they sacrificed their love for the common people, and Wushuang was persecuted by the enemy and imprisoned, and Yuan Zhong sacrificed himself to save him.
In the end, the two joined hands to defeat the Han Nu (played by Zhang Li) who disturbed the Three Realms, and exchanged peace and order for the beings of the Three Realms.
At this point in the story, although there is a love scene, it focuses more on the growth of double strength, the plot integrates the grand background, family and country hatred, the male and female protagonists are evenly matched, the characters are very plump, the highlights are very rich, and the story is naturally good-looking.
Tang Yan took the lead, and the gold medal creator joined in
The ancient puppet drama hit the street seriously, a big reason is that the main creator is not strong, but the behind-the-scenes team of "Nian Wushuang" is strong.
Let's talk about director Guo Hu first, the "big guy" in the ancient puppets.
Popular dramas such as "Zhou Shengru", "Agarwood Like Crumbs", "Lotus Tower" and other popular dramas are all from him, and the works directed by Guo Hu have exquisite pictures and delicate characters' emotions, which are highly recognized by the audience.
Let's talk about screenwriter Zhao Na, pen name Xiaoxiang Dong'er.
Everyone may not be familiar with this name, but when it comes to her work "The Biography of Chu Qiao", almost everyone knows it.
"The Legend of Chu Qiao 2" didn't wait, Yu Wenyue was still soaking in the water, she returned with a new work, I don't know if "Nian Wushuang" will catch up with the results of "The Legend of Chu Qiao".
It can be said that when these two cooperate, the possibility of "Nian Wushuang" overturning is almost zero.
Of course, the performance of the actors is also the key to the good-looking appearance of an ancient puppet drama, and the cast of this drama focuses on a right taste.
Let's talk about the heroine Tang Yan first.
This year, Tang Yan ushered in a new peak in her career.
"Flowers" became popular, and Miss Wang played by Tang Yan in the play was hot-blooded, hardworking, and highly praised, and her acting strength was finally recognized.
Tang Yan was also nominated for Magnolia for this role, even if she missed the trophy in the end, the nomination was certain, and Tang Yan opened the gap with other "85 flowers" with her strength.
Returning to the comfort zone of ancient puppets, what changes will Tang Yan have? Let's look forward to it.
In addition to her, the "three male gods" who joined "Nian Wushuang" are also very worth looking forward to.
The first place, Liu Xueyi.
The unintentional corner in "Youth Song Xing" made Liu Xueyi out of the circle, and the character's tragic but free and complex personality was perfectly interpreted by him, and he did not fall behind in the play against the drama bone You Benchang.
This year's broadcast of "Flower Order" has greatly increased the popularity of Liu Xueyi, who is the male lead, and his acting skills have also been praised by the audience.
In the new play, he plays the male protagonist Yuan Zhong, who is also a character with a complex background but a righteous heart, Liu Xueyi is completely hand-held for this kind of role, and the director chose the right person.
second place, Wang Hongyi.
The popularity of "Sauvignon Blanc" has made Wang Hongyi, who plays Chishui Fenglong, well-known to the audience, and he interprets the calmness and sobriety of the role accurately, which not only makes people feel friendly, but also maintains a sense of alienation.
In the new drama, Wang Hongyi plays the gentle and elegant elder of the fox clan, the role is very suitable for his temperament, and he can support the role with his acting skills, depending on his performance in the feature film.
third place, Chen Chuhe.
Chen Chuhe is also a god-like existence in the hearts of a generation of audiences.
How many audiences fascinated the audience when he played Zhong Haotian in "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family", as he grew older, Chen Chuhe gradually retreated to a supporting role over the years, but his acting skills are still outstanding.
His performance in "Nian Wushuang" is also worth looking forward to.
In addition, there are also actors such as Guo Xiaoting, Zhang Li, Zheng Yecheng, Zheng Xiyi and other actors in the play.
Epilogue:
Relying solely on the attractiveness of the actors themselves, the popularity of the broadcast of "Nian Wushuang" must remain high, but the suspense of this drama is, can it break the situation for the ancient puppets in 2024?
For now, I think the answer is optimistic.
On the one hand, the director and screenwriter of the show have a number of big hits, so they don't have to worry about their ability, the internal story line logic, and the external scenery props will not be perfunctory, providing the audience with a good experience of chasing dramas.
On the other hand, actors don't pull their hips, they not only have a high fit with the characters, but also have good looks and acting skills, which are very friendly to the audience's eyes.
Moreover, the male and female protagonists are not tools for falling in love, and even the villains have their own story lines, and the dramatic tension is directly full.
It can be said that it is difficult to think about "Nian Wushuang" if it is not good-looking.
